The first memory I have of art calling to me happened when I was about seven years old. I remember passing an art studio as I headed down the street toward music lessons. It was Saturday morning, and through the large windows I saw the students inside the studio, working at easels lined up one behind another. An incredible longing to be in there with them moved through me. I wanted nothing more than to walk through that studio door instead of down the street to my lesson. Though I didn't join those students that day, I never forgot that moment. Eventually, I did take classes and workshops with some incredible instructors. I also learned a lot by trial and error because I was committed to my practice of art. A couple of years ago we took a gigantic leap of faith and moved from an area we had called home for over 40 years. We headed back to the East Coast where both my husband and I grew up. Today we make our home in Nova Scotia. My studio overlooks the beautiful Bay of Fundy and the highest tides in the world are right outside my windows. The ebb and flow of the natural world influences my art, which reflects this beautiful, creative and inspiring area of Canada.
